Synopsis

This story was a lovely story with absolutely no bears in it―not a single bear anywhere―then one day...
MORE BEARS!!
The author tried very, very hard to ignore the children who thought that the story ought to have
MORE BEARS!!
Fine. This story had a bear.

Full of irreverent humor and prime for interactive read-aloud fun, More Bears! is a favorite of parents and kids alike. Acclaimed poet Kenn Nesbitt is at his best with this silly meta-fictional book. As the "author" of the story begins writing a tale without any bears in it, he is abruptly interrupted with a chorus of someone shouting "MORE BEARS!" at every turn of the page!
